Good day to all sifu here!!After a quite of time of considerations, I had finally bought my very UDM, my ultimate dream car! Due to budget issue, I chose an used E90 320I, year 2005 as entry stage of my dream car. It cost me RM113 and just collected the car on last Friday. On the next day, I immediately sent it to a recommended BMW specialist - BM Auto Power, Permas Jaya for 100% check-up. Thanks god no main issues were found after diagnosis, merely front lower arms need to be replaced in which they quoted me RM195 per pcs.As for normal services, it costs me RM1300 which inclusive of BMW engine oil + filter, ZF gear oil + filter plus engine flush. The crew there are extremely experienced and explained a lot about BMW.After that i drifted to my favaourite tyre shop and replace the original 16" to 18" rims which cost me RM2900.The last step, windows tinted cost me RM600. So, everything took me one whole day but feel happy after seeing my "leng zai" UDM on the road...Basically, I do feel relieved as the maintenance cost is not really sky high as what others comments. According to the workshop crew, the part that will cost you the most is the gearbox. In fact that my UDM's gearbox is still ok but just having some jerk when stopping just like what some sifu experienced here. The crew recommended me to have the gearbox re-programmed but, I think i would better have it refurbished before it goes worst. Guess I will need to have a trip to Batu Caves for re-furbish at Mscope. Really feel wanna make it more tip top and enjoy the ride...............Ok, guys, that's all for today, will update more soon! cheers.....View attachment 23865

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new ride. Do join us in our Official TT this coming Friday at Borneo.
 
Thanks all for the warm welcome.

I have been busying "re-cond" my UDM as I want to make it more tip top and hassle free for min 1 - 2 years. My UDM had just out from workshop this evening for:

1. Valvetronic motor replacement.
2. Camshaft sensor replacement.
3. Valve timing resetting.
4. Transmission resetting.
5. ABS & DTC resetting.

A few K gone this evening but still feel happy because the power of my UDM seems coming back.

Anyway, since the car was collected last week, I had tried 2 workshop so far and noticed that in fact the parts' price are reasonable for the labor charges seems on the higher side. Especially those so-called "diagnosis" or "Resetting" stuff which will cost you a bomb after a few simple clicks by the mechanics.

I am still searching for a reliable workshop who i feel honest and with reasonable enough. Thanks........
 
welcome.. it's a good first step changing the aging parts so you'll be smiling after that
